You know me, Murf. I'm a green weenie man at heart. I doubt I have an
Adams in my boxes, except for the mandatory Size 20 OBA, parachute of
course. I really rather catches gills with poppers or sliders, but if
action slows I'll use a Delaware Flymph, Green Weenie or small Estaz bug for
trailer. I've got a new one to try next year called a Kehe, or something
like that. I also tie some small minnows, about an inch or so long that
work well as a trailer behind the popper.

Mr. Philly,
I must take issue with the Adams, winged. They certainly seem to
attract attention of the gills but possibly intimidate same. I believe
gills are opportunists for injured or otherwise defenseless bugs. That
said, an Adams which has been a bit chewed on or has a wing pulled at an angle
indicating injury seems to work for me... even if only the topper to get
attention. The real family expert is my little Sarah when she was barely
able to hold a fly rod. She knocked em dead with #18 fl yellow inch
worm patterns (aka green weenie) suspended from a topper or just allowed
a slow sink. I have found Byard's Killer Kaddis W/a Kicker to be awesome
on gills. Keep em small and cut back on the sparkle a bit.
Crippled emergers do well too. They love hairwing flys that are a bit
rough as well.

Here's one tied out of Polar Fiber.
I also like small Crease flies, 1 to 2 inches long.
As far as the Adams goes, I've been tying for a few years, and was
never really good with wings. If they keep giving you trouble, tie a
Parachute Adams instead.

That's
true.. Older they get the smarter they get...Maybe they were hooked
a
time or two when they were young, but got away, so they know what a
hook
looks like. And like you say, the size that I call "butterbeans"
will eat
anything, from tiny things and big things.. I've caught those
tiny ones on
huge bass lures before.. I wish that was true with ME ,The
getting smarter
as I get older part..LOL Chuck
